now that Python has type inference, it should be possible for users to just type {} and have the interpreter work out which was intended from context.
Or have {} return an ambiguous object that turns into a dict or set depending on what is done to it. We could call it a quict (quantum dict). To support this, we would also have to add a third possible value for type bool: >>> x = {} >>> isinstance(x, dict) Maybe >>> isinstance(x, set) Maybe >>> x['foo'] = 42 >>> isinstance(x, dict) True >>> isinstance(x, set) False -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
